Sojourn of the Holy Family in Egypt

Albrecht Dürer

National Gallery of Art

This print features various people engaged in activity in front of a stone building on the left with arched windows and a flight of stairs. In the bottom of the print, various people and small cherubs participate in different tasks; some appear to be crafting or working with tools, while a woman near the bottom-right corner sits on a chair near a small cradle. Behind them on the right is an arched gateway leading to a landscape with trees and a distant castle on a hill. Above the scene, a person is depicted riding across the sky with rays of light emanating from them.
